Ruben Studdard Sings “Star Spangled Banner“ with EV/Blue Cardinal

February 10th, 2006

Everlast Productions of Hallandale, Florida supplied and ran sound reinforcement for the event. Eager to hear the Cardinal over a stadium PA, Everlast’s Gus Fuentes placed EV’s latest star player front and center on the field.

“Everlast Productions uses a wide range of EV mics and wireless systems on a daily basis,“ Fuentes commented, “and we were excited to hear how the new Cardinal performed at the Orange Bowl. In terms of warmth and musicality, the Cardinal really shone out on this standard - a performance of “The Star Spangled Banner’ is a great reference point for a mic’s quality and characteristics, as it’s such a familiar song. The Cardinal is a beautiful thing, both in terms of photogenic looks and superb sound. Ruben Studdard loved the mic and its cherry wood finish, and mentioned he’d like one of his own. Everlast felt this would be a great way to introduce it to the world of sports concert performance, and were very happy with the results.“

The Cardinal™ is a high-performance, cardioid condenser microphone from the all-new EV Blue Series. The Cardinal features a high-quality, Class-A discrete low noise amplifier for a smooth and detailed performance. It features a unique, stylish cherry veneer and a swivel-mounted design for easy placement. The Cardinal is designed to capture the true character of live and studio vocals, and is also perfect for use with instruments.
